When I started my first internet company, no one would invest in my “crazy” idea. 

I heard “no” so many times….

👉 You’re too young
👉 You don’t have any money
👉 You don’t have the experience
👉 You’re crazy, get a “real” job 

But my 80-year-old grandma gave me a $10,000 loan. 

She had no idea what the Internet was back then… but she believed in me.

That kitchen table internet startup?

It grew into a $100 million business. 

Behind every “overnight success” is someone who simply needed one person to believe in them.

My grandma was mine. ❤️

And she’s the reason I’ve invested in over 100 entrepreneurs since. 

I know what it’s like to be underestimated, and I know what can happen when someone takes a chance on you.

So to all the dreamers, founders, and future success stories reading this…

If I can do it, so can YOU. 💪

Someone recently asked me the last time I felt afraid…

I had a hard time answering. 

Here’s why:  

I don’t think there’s been a time that I WASN’T scared out of my mind.

It’s the truth! 

When I started my first business from my kitchen table… 

I was terrified.

I was afraid of failing.

I was afraid I didn’t have the skills. 

I was afraid I would let people down. 

I would get rejected, and laughed at… 

You name it, I was scared of it.

I’m scared. You’re scared. We’re all scared.

What I learned after starting was that when you’re chasing big dreams and trying new things… 

FEAR IS INEVITABLE. 

And my kitchen table startup eventually grew to over $100 Million in revenue. 

The key isn’t to eliminate your fears… 

But rather to learn how to face them and move forward despite them.

Feel the fear… 

AND DO IT ANYWAY!
